Introduction to PROFIBUS DP

7 April 2024

In this webinar, Kyle Roos (PROFIBUS & PROFINET Site Engineer and Trainer at Industrial Data Xchange, South Africa) takes us through an introduction to PROFIBUS DP networks.

Topics covered include:

  • What is PROFIBUS?
  • Properties and operations
  • Transmission technologies
  • Identifying and correcting common network failures
  • Diagnostics tools and remote monitoring solutions
  • Certified training and further proactive steps to be taken

While this webinar serves as an introduction and does not substitute the significance of participating in certified training at our dedicated centre, it plays a crucial role in sharing essential information. We aim to help industries make informed decisions about their networks by outlining the necessary steps required to achieve high network availability and peak performance.
